re: icons missing from system tray Sunday, February 21, 2010 at 11:13 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by XPyre (1 messages posted) The missing ivolume icon presented me with a major problem as I was transferring a large number of vinyl LPs to CD when the problem first occurred. After unsuccessfully trying many of the suggestions in this thread, I went back to basics and did a System Restore which seems to have worked. The volume icon has reappeared but I wonder for how long. I don't want to play around with my machine any more in case the problem returns. But a more fundamental question arises; this forum has been conducting correspondence on this for eight years and MS appears to have done little or nothing to to help affected users. That is quite appalling. Written in response to: re: icons missing from system tray (jhonny: Saturday, February 13, 2010 at 8:03 am) There are presently no replies to this message.
